I essentially vote for "no". The reason is, unless they've specifically asked you to contact them when you've created something new (or for any other reason), you'd essentially be spamming them.
I think I'd be a bit disconcerted to receive a mail out of the blue from someone I contacted once to offer feedback. Also, I assume you posted that fic in the places you'll planning to now - if they found it in those places then, I assume they'd also do so in future. It seems a little redundant.
This is effectively a no vote, because I agree with the sentiment of #1, if not quite the harsh phrasing. Four years is a long time in terms of fandom drift! And the people who are still in X-Men fandom will find your fic anyway, swift like ninja.
I also vote no. I don't think it's mental but I don't think it's necessary...four years is such a long time that they might not even be in the fandom anymore, and they might find it disconcerting as trixtah mentioned. If they're still in the fandom and reading stories, once it's posted, they'll find it and read if they want to do so.
i know how organized you are. i'm sure you kept a list of who asked for further information later on down the road. i'd say if they specifically asked you to update them when/if you had something new, it would be kewl to email them.
i know how desperately you crave feedback... don't worry, you'll get it! :)

But seriously, I'll give it a read when you post it. ^_^
